Artificial Intelligence Stock Drawing scrutiny from Wall Street
Ambarella: Semiconductor Giant Poised for Growth
In the dynamic world of technology, Ambarella (AMBA) continues to make waves as a leading semiconductor company specialising in low-power, high-performance semiconductors, particularly system-on-chips (SoCs) for AI and computer vision tasks.
The company's recent financial reports paint a promising picture. Ambarella's edge AI revenue, which now includes smart home devices, automobile safety, and telematics, in addition to its initial focus on enterprise security cameras, marked its fifth consecutive quarter of record sales. This growth is a testament to Ambarella's success, which is due to years of investment in cutting-edge AI research and development.
Ambarella's portfolio of 5-nanometer AI SoCs has enabled it to enter a broader range of markets. The company is pursuing growth in three new markets: portable video, robotics, and edge infrastructure. Ambarella is focusing on AI prospects such as autonomous robots, AI-powered video, next-generation automotive safety, and edge computing infrastructure.
Wall Street rates Ambarella stock as a "Moderate Buy", with 18 analysts rating it: 13 recommend buying, 8 recommend holding, and none recommend selling. The average price target for 2026 is around $81.60, close to the current price of $82.48, indicating modest upside potential. The average target price of $91.91 suggests the stock can rally by 16.1% from current levels.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Ambarella reported revenue of $95.5 million, a 11% increase sequentially and a 49.9% increase year-over-year. This growth is significant, and Ambarella forecasts a 31% to 35% revenue growth for the full fiscal year 2026, a significant increase from its earlier estimate of 19% to 25%.
Management projects that edge AI will account for approximately 80% of Ambarella's overall revenue in fiscal 2026. This focus on edge AI has been a strategic move that has paid off, as it ended the quarter with $261.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities.
Analysts' projections for fiscal 2026 align with management's estimates, while expecting revenue to increase by 7.4% in fiscal 2027. The change in revenue projection indicates that demand across Ambarella's product portfolio is increasing faster than management had anticipated.
Ambarella's stock price estimate of $105 indicates the stock could gain 32.6% in the next 12 months. With its strong financial performance, strategic focus, and positive analyst sentiment, Ambarella seems poised for continued growth in the coming years.
